Conrad Wheeler
Radimus
News Editor and Slacker
Conrad grew up WAY out in the boondocks of the West Coast of Florida. He was the "mid-life" baby and only boy with two much older sisters! Man was he spoiled! His mom spent all of her time doting on the boy, making sure that his every whit and whim were serviced. He spent much of his young life finding gadgets to disassemble to determine their inner workings. The rest was spent helping the family with their landscaping business.
Not being much for the outdoors and all that manual labor stuff, Conrad discovered that computers was the way to go! So, armed with his Commodore 128 and TI-99/4a, he embarked on his career. He began on the Yearbook staff of his high school year book and has ever since found technology to be fascinating. Conrad did his best to make all the trouble he could and do as very little as possible throughout high school. Despite his utter lack of concern for the classes or the teachers, he graduated! Things quickly deteriorated from there. To keep himself from getting into anymore trouble, he decided to dedicate his life to Uncle Sam for a few years. Conrad joined the Army and was placed in a Patriot Missile Unit. He spent time in Germany and in Saudi Arabia defending our country. After returning to the states from his sentence...er...patriotic duties...he landed a job in communications...he installed radios and base stations and erected antennae for a local communication firm. It was here that his networking potential was uncovered. Conrad built and configured the network for this small office. The experience this gave him, led him eventually to his auspicious job with the state government where he wisely spends all of the state taxpayer money by coming in late, taking long lunches, and leaving early, when not otherwise occupied with surfing tech sites and sleeping in his office.
Sometime during the communication stint, Conrad met, of all things, a GIRL! Who knows what she was thinking, but she dragged him out of his closet (where he spent countless hours playing Mech Warrior and Doom), and made him do things like eat with a fork, wear shoes, and have real conversations. Eventually, he grew to like her and they married. They now have 4 children together and are fast approaching their 10 year anniversary...fingers crossed!!
